can this be a missing branch in Isle of Bute

[radar]

While researching the LDS church site i put in the name Cameron as it is one of the names i am researching

i put just cameron in and went to
area put British Isle then scotland and then Bute for the isle of Bute

i came up with this

Ewen Cameron and Marjory born to them is

Janet Marie Cameron born 1589 isle of bute
Anna Cameron 1595 isle of bute
Ewen Cameron 1577 Isle of Bute this one could be Ewen himself
Finuall Cameron 1601 might possible be Fingal
Peggy cameron 1598 isle of bute no listing of Parents i believe peggy is of the same branch

mine ancestors are
Peggy Cameron married in 1616 to Donald McKirdy IV of the isle of bute both born on Bute in 1598
Both Donald McKirdy III and his son Fingal McKirdy both died in a Battle for the Camerons as rumored in our history
also rumered was that Peggy Cameron was a Grand daughter of James IV could be Great grand daughter by looking at the cameron Records

I see there is a Margaret Stewart in the Cameron history married to john dow cameron

now is this the Daughter of King James IV and Margaret Drummond list as Margret Jane Stewart

i was wondering if you might be able to help me or look in to it for me
it seens to match up good with the Camerons of Erracht

Inresponse to your post - here is a bit on the Cameron's of Erracht. The first of this line was Ewen, eldest son of Ewen of Lochiel - by his second wife, Marjory MacIntosh. He was born in 1530 and was married to Margaret Stewart - although I have never read that this Margaret was of the royal line -. He had two sons, John Dubh (or Dow), and Donald. Thus this Margaret Stewart was John Dubh's mother, not wife. Donald was murdered in 1570, and John Dubh was excecuted in Dunstaffanage Castle in 1585.

There was a branch of Stewarts in Brae Lochaber, as well as the Stewarts of Appin, who given the close proximity of both places would be a logical place for Margaret Stewart, Ewen of Erracht's wife, to have come from.

Ewen MacAllan of Lochiel's second wife's name was Marjory (MacIntosh) - but that is not the Ewen of your line who resided on Bute.

I am not familiar with any Cameron families in Bute. Interestingly, one of my neighbours here in Southern Alberta, a Neil, lives on Cumbrae Ranch. So named by his grandfather who came here from Little Cumbrae Island about 100 years ago. Little Cumbrae is very close to Bute, just off Garroch Head. We live in a small world!

Anyway, I wish you the very best in your searching, and please stick around the family discussion board. You never know - someone may have the answers you are looking for.

Slainte,

John
